Our Friends

First off, we would like to thank EVERYONE that has made this possible. Without the support of our wonderful and understanding wives, this venture would never have been possible in the first place. Pat’s wife Rorie has allowed their home to be invaded by groups of nerds on more than a few occasions to put this out. She has also taken care of their daughter on those nights when recording is occurring! In addition to Pat’s understanding wife, Corey’s wife Tara is equally understanding and also AMAZINGLY talented. Tara has been so kind to lend her talents as a graphic designer to our logo AND our banner. Without these two wonderful ladies, Digital Nerdage would never have been possible. Speaking of Digital Nerdage, a special shout out needs to go out to Jeremy Metcalf who had the brain wave to come up with the name we still use today. It was a crazy brainstorming session that birthed the title of this podcast. Thank you all!
